PSU - The Gurhal 3

So, on the last day of Maximum Attack G on PSU (well, it WILL be the last day of ST decides to not extend the event), I (F Gattaca), Sniff The Raven (P. Justice 2.0), and a mutual friend of ours (Pharan) went on a "world tour" of the various missions PSU has to offer.

What for? To prove one thing--any MMO is worth its money if you have fun playing it, and what makes MMOs fun is partying with friends.

... And finding quite a few good rares during our rampage helps too. Heh heh.

Anyway, we stopped a bit at Raffon Lakeshore to goof off. I recorded a part of it, and as part of my continiung experiments with video editing, flash movies, and combining the two, I made this. It's kinda like the other "silly nothing" flash movie I did years back, Chicken in a Bucket.

Although this one is a LOT bigger in size (6 MB in fact) due to the videos.

Specifically, I was experimenting with creating a short animation that seamlessly enters into a loopable sequence (same with the audio). This turned out to be a lot trickier than I first thought, but hopefully you'll find the results amusing, mesmerizing, or both!

By the way, as the flash movie states, the music is a clip from "Young Boy's Heart" by Home Made Kazoku. That's better known as (one of) the opening themes to the anime Eureka 7. It was the whole reason I got the idea to do this in the first place, heheh.

(Edit: And by the way, the seemingly non-English text at the start of the movie? That's mostly there for flavor. It's the script used in Parum culture in PSU, but the words ARE legit English. Sega did this in both PSO and PSU, where Coral and Gurhalian text were written with the English alphabet and in the afprementioned language, but the actual fonts used are like no Earthly script--a clever way of making seemingly otherworldly language, heh ... especially if you are a native Japanese player.)

Enjoy!
